Agamemnon Wall

Sunday turned out to be a great day for the Aggy Wall.
Winds were howling in Malaspina Strait but the weather was rainy but calm in the Agamamnon Channel. 4 of us dove and Pat was aboard giving a timely hand here and there. Thanks Pat.
vis was ok at about 80 feet. there is still a bit of particulate in the water.
This dive is a long running favorite and its always a pleasure to get back to it. A couple folks did a 170 for 25 profile. everyone enjoyed the  gorgonian corals and cloud sponges. It just never seems like we get to stay long enough.
I managed to get a few photos. Here are some of them!
